Chapter 916: Chapter 737: Hatching a Young Dragon_2

Every season, Kanako sends two expensive sets of clothes and shoes to Xu Yang, so he never needs to buy clothes himself. Kanako also proactively researches Xu Yang’s preferences and fashion trends to ensure he is always neatly dressed.

"It is my duty to keep the master clean, appropriate, and tidy," Lila said seriously, then semi-forcefully helped Xu Yang change his clothes.

She really loves her master too much, always finding reasons to enjoy the time spent with him.

The only criterion Xu Yang has for choosing clothes is that they must have many pockets, because he needs to carry many things with him, such as a variety of Separation Chips, keys, and identification documents.

After Lila helped him change, he looked at himself in the mirror and felt he looked sharper than before.

However, Shangjing is very cold; he always thinks about moving back to the south where it feels like living in a refrigerator here.

Xu Yang pondered for a moment.

"What is master worried about?" Lila asked.

"Farosa... has become profound," Xu Yang said.

"She hasn’t changed, it’s just an act," Lila said.

"I don’t think so."

"Time will give us the answer," Lila said sternly.

"Anyway, we need to track a god in a ’dying but not dead’ state so that Farosa can have a chance to confront the most powerful enemy," Xu Yang said.

Once the weapon is re-sharpened, God Slayer Farosa will restart her divine hunting journey.

"Is that so..." Lila began to analyze.

With her perception and investigative abilities, she soon tracked down the blood of those ’dying but not dead’ gods offered by Farosa, identifying important scents from them.

"Any clues?" Xu Yang noted Lila’s changed expression.

"Probably in the belly of Xia," Lila was not very sure, but she indeed caught a similar scent after comparison.

In the depths of Xia, exists a ’dying but not dead’ deity? Xu Yang thought internally. This matter could be of great consequence.

He suspected it had something to do with the rumored "Dragon Slaying Assembly."

According to confidential information, in recent years, Heavenly Cardinal Manufacturing has been leading plans for an event named "Dragon Slaying Assembly," representing the pinnacle of esoteric research of Heavenly Cardinal Manufacturing. Once this ceremony is successfully held, Heavenly Cardinal Manufacturing will achieve significant progress.

Lu Jing has lost contact since he went back, and Xu Yang didn’t know whether Lu Sizhou would arrange for Lu Jing to attend the Dragon Slaying Assembly.

Regardless, he still had to find a way to get involved.

The Dragon Slaying Assembly, as the name implies, is a grand event of slaying dragons. Inside the territory of Xia, could there be a surviving dragon that has been investigated?

Thinking of this, Xu Yang used a magic formula to contact "Moonfire" Mond and gather intelligence. After all, it had been a long time since he had spoken to the Elder Dragon.

Xu Yang drew simple communication symbols, and pale Moonlight Flame ignited in the air.

"It’s been a long time, Xu Yang," the air trembled slightly, filling the room with silver light, and Mond’s aged voice came through.

"Lots to attend to, I should move around more often," Xu Yang felt apologetic. He also hadn’t seen Princess Pelagia of the Red Dragon for a long time.

"Who isn’t? Facing layers of crises and troubles, I had to put on spectacles, begin rereading archives, or search materials from your restored system. Everything is to resist those powerful foes," Mond lamented.

"Enemies?" Xu Yang couldn’t help but be moved.

The Elder Dragon Mond’s tone was extremely pained and disappointed, as if he too was facing insurmountable troubles.

Some dark spots emerged in the air, forming a strange elongated creature. It twisted unnaturally, maintaining a high frequency of oscillation, and looked extremely ugly.

"Do you see? This is the appearance of the creature I have managed to recreate as best as I could—it’s a beast that can freely pass through interstellar space. I call it ’Clinger,’ and it has already descended into the starry skies we inhabit," Mond said.

"How powerful is it?" Xu Yang was astonished.

"I need to give my all to confront it," Mond said, "and it came tracking the power of Farosa."

"Farosa’s Divine Power of the Galaxy..." Xu Yang recalled how Farosa once and again enacted miracles under the starlight.

"That’s why I tried to stop her, harboring some hope because my prophetic abilities found a chance for victory in Farosa, but as the Clinger was summoned, I realized that the outcome of prophecy might be beautiful, but the process is undoubtedly cruel," Mond slowly said.

Mond probably knew Farosa was capable of doing something earth-shattering, but as the Clinger was drawn in, Mond grew fearful instead. Xu Yang thought silently.

"Is this one of the powerful enemies in the galaxy? This... Clinger." Xu Yang closely examined the hideous giant insect Mond had depicted.

"Yes, every time Farosa uses the power of the galaxy, there are disturbances deep in the stars, and the loathsome Clinger is attracted by this disturbance, navigating its way here. I’ve tried to lure it to wander in the outer nebula belts. It clings to a planet’s surface, like a bug crawling into an apple to consume it entirely," Mond explained.

Just thinking about its name "Clinger," combined with its ugly appearance, Xu Yang felt an ominous pressure. Such a detestable behemoth cometh from beyond the stars; no wonder people keep emphasizing the enormous evil within the galaxy.

It seems we still need to find the fourth God who has yet to die; only then does our side stand a chance.

"We are currently undertaking an experimental plan involving the deities of Xia, do you understand the Supernatural Powers of Xia?" Xu Yang said.

For the sake of keeping Farosa’s plan confidential, he still could not outright say it was for the purpose of sharpening the Godslayer Weapon.

"’Pan Yuan’, it lives at the bottom of Weak Water," Mond spoke, "Pan Yuan is one of the oldest supernatural beings, but we haven’t been in contact for a long time."

"Is it dead?" Xu Yang asked tentatively.

"Far from dead, but also not quite alive. I don’t understand, maybe it has its own matters to attend to. The legacy it left is enough to drive the cultivators of Xia maniac, and its invisible power constantly looms over and influences Xia... very strange," Mond narrated.

If that’s the case, the "Dragon Slaying Convention" of Heavenly Cardinal Manufacturing could very well be aimed at slaying Pan Yuan, Xu Yang contemplated.

It would be maniac, purely motivated by greed, for corporations to organize a formidable corporate force to confront the ancient Dragon God directly in Weak Water.

Thinking that this was Lu Sizhou’s doing doesn’t make it any less strange.

"Then there are the Seven Seals, now unbridled in the world," Xu Yang said.

"That’s why the resources you control are crucial, you must gather more and more people, maneuvering Power across different battlefields, this is a global-scale confrontation... Keep accumulating, ceaselessly accumulating, the future will certainly engage many battle fronts simultaneously. The top-level divine war, the middle-layer supernatural war, and even the terrestrial wars fought by Mortals on foot... none can afford to be lost," Mond emphasized.

The launch of the Destiny Weapon indicates the Seven Seals have begun to interfere with the deep space, defying Mond’s authority. Mond’s attitude then grew even tougher, determined to confront the Seven Seals.

Should the Seven Seals cross the line and attack the Moon or the Northern Archipelago, it would mean the end of the cold war balance. Mond would personally enter the fray, fighting until one side is utterly annihilated.

"...I understand."

"Do you trust Farosa?" Mond asked, "You’re closest to her, do you think she would do evil?"

Mond still thinks Farosa is a maniac, and it’s her innate mania why they chose her for Godslayer, for she was already insane before facing the true deity, skipping the step of mental breakdown.

Now that Xu Yang has spent more time with Farosa, Mond wanted to know if there had been any changes in her.

"I trust her." Xu Yang reassured Mond.

"Maybe... maybe..." Mond said with a hint of anxiety.

The situation forced it to take sides; it cared about everything on the Ground, worrying about the future of the world. The use of stellar power by Farosa had attracted such monsters as the Clinger, making it feel as if doomsday was nearing.

The air shimmered with runes, seemingly fading into obscurity.

"This is..." Xu Yang had never seen such a phenomenon before.

"Our communication might also draw the attention of the Clinger, I must interrupt our connection now," Mond regretfully stated.

Having experienced eons, it valued Xu Yang highly, seeing many shades of past heroes in him. It hoped that Xu Yang would resolve the conflicts on the Ground and then defeat the Clinger, for if the Clinger descended to the surface, the entire planet’s ecosystem would face catastrophic devastation.

"Thank you for your answers," Xu Yang thanked Mond.

"It is I who should thank you," Mond’s voice gradually faded, "you successfully continued the dragon’s lineage, leaving a young dragon in the mortal world... the entire world will welcome its appearance..."

A young dragon!

Xu Yang realized Wei Shiyue had successfully hatched the egg, and he couldn’t help feeling a thrill.
